How Kanata's prayer times are worked out

From Kanata, the Qibla is 57° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,165 km (6,317 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kanata's own coordinates (45.30°N, 75.92°W), not a national average. That is why Kanata's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kanata timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kanata lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 72 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:49 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 38m near June down to 10h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kanata come from the Islamic Society of North America. The ISNA method sets Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha at 15°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Aylmer, Nepean and Ottawa South. Each is only a few minutes off Kanata's clock.
